"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always." Mohandas Gandhi

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell

"Hijacking the WorldThe dark side of Microsoft.Roberto Di Cosmo and Dominique Nora (French version published by Calmann-Levy 1998, ISBN 2-7021-2923-4)"

"People in Europe tend to be a bit shy about saying these things. Microsoft is criticizedbecause people here are afraid of American cultural imperialism, or because they're afraidof globalization, and Bill Gates is an emblem for this, or simply because they're scared todeath by technology..."

"My reasons for criticizing Microsoft are much more basic, and, I think, less subjective thanthat. I have a deep love for technology, and it is exactly for this reason that I cannotaccept seeing it corrupted by a company that designs bad products, which are sold tooexpensively to consumers who are subjugated by them, a company that –we will see howlater– has contempt for its customers, does not play fairly with its competitors, andstifles innovation. Like many others, I cherish a dream of technological progress leadingto a better world, a world that is freer and has more solidarity. But I can ensure you thatsuch a world looks nothing like the world that Bill Gates dreams of."
